It's almost midway 2018 and this space has experienced some radio silence. Sometimes I need to write to keep myself focused, but other times I find other ways and things that distract me, which in turns helps me to focus on stuff that is important in the moment. I feel ready to put down snippets ...

My potting table is disintegrating. I should have sanded and stained it again after a few years. I want to say that I originally purchased this table from Ikea. This was back in 2009, so my memory is a little fuzzy. I do remember standing in the garage, staining all the pieces before assembling the table. ...

We packed up the car this morning, and as we were driving away from Vancouver for the US border, I knew I was going to miss the mountains, but I didn't feel sad about leaving the city behind. Vancouver didn't wow me in the least, possibly because we didn't stay downtown, but more than ...

I happened to stumble upon some beautiful watercolour illustrations made by 37-year-old Snezhana Soosh.
